Afghanistan’s caretaker Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund has called on governments to formally recognize the Taliban-led administration, which took power in August last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
He said at a press conference that all conditions have been met.<\/p>\n
“I urge all governments, especially Islamic states, to begin recognition,” said Akhund, co-founder of the Taliban.<\/p>\n
He also called for the lifting of the blockade on Afghanistan’s frozen assets, which are held abroad, as well as for the increase of humanitarian aid, as this country faces a major humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n
This call comes after the European Union announced that it has launched projects worth 268.3 million euros, in support of the Afghan population.<\/p>\n
The Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan following the destruction of the internationally backed government in Kabul, as well as at a time when international forces were withdrawing from the country after a 20-year war.<\/p>\n
No country has officially recognized the Taliban government.<\/p>\n
Western nations have said they will see if the Taliban will lead under the regime of 20 years ago, when they were in power for the first time.<\/p>\n
In an effort to secure international recognition, the Taliban have signaled that they will have a more moderate approach, compared to the past.<\/p>\n
However, the militants continue to be under international pressure due to human rights violations, especially those in the field of women’s education, employment and their participation in political and social life.<\/p>\n
